PART I

 

Item 1.     Business

 

PepsiCo, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware in 1919 and was reincorporated in North Carolina in 1986. When used in this report the terms “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” mean PepsiCo and its divisions and subsidiaries.

 

Our Divisions

 

We are a leading, global snack and beverage company. We manufacture, market and sell a variety of salty, convenient, sweet and grain-based snacks, carbonated and noncarbonated beverages and foods. We are organized in six divisions:

 

    Frito-Lay North America,
    Frito-Lay International,
    Pepsi-Cola North America,
    Gatorade/Tropicana North America,
    PepsiCo Beverages International, and
    Quaker Foods North America.

 

Our North American divisions operate in the United States and Canada. Our international divisions operate in over 175 countries, with our largest operations in Mexico and the United Kingdom. Financial information concerning our divisions and geographic areas is presented in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements and additional information concerning our division operations, customers and distribution network is presented under the heading “ Our Business” contained in “ Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis.”

 

Beginning in 2003, we will combine the results of PCNA and GTNA as PepsiCo Beverages North America, and of our international food and beverage businesses as PepsiCo International to reflect operating and management changes.

These branded products are sold to independent distributors and retailers.

materials. Our key packaging materials include P.E.T. resin used for plastic bottles and cardboard. Fuel and natural gas are also important commodities due to their use in our plants and in the trucks delivering our products. These products are purchased mainly in the open market. We employ specialists to secure adequate supplies of many of these items and have not experienced any significant continuous shortages. The prices we pay for such items are subject to fluctuation. When prices increase, we may or may not pass on such increases to our customers. When we have decided to pass along price increases in the past, we have done so successfully. However, there is no assurance that we will be able to do so in the future.

 

Our Brands

 

We own numerous valuable trademarks which are essential to our worldwide businesses, including Alegro, AMP, Aquafina, Aunt Jemima, Cap’n Crunch, Cheetos, Cracker Jack, Diet Pepsi, Doritos, Frito-Lay, Fritos, Fruitworks, Gamesa, Gatorade, Golden Grain, Grandma’s, Lay’s, Life, Mirinda, Mountain Dew, Mountain Dew Code Red, Mr. Green, Mug, Near East, Pasta Roni, Pepsi, Pepsi Blue, Pepsi Max, Pepsi One, Pepsi Twist, Pepsi-Cola, Propel, Quaker, Quaker Chewy, Quaker Quakes, Rice-A-Roni, Rold Gold, Ruffles, Sabritas, 7UP and Diet 7UP (outside the United States), Sierra Mist, Slice, Smith’s, SoBe, Sunchips, Tostitos, Tropicana, Tropicana Pure Premium, Tropicana Pure Tropics, Tropicana Season’s Best, Tropicana Twister, Walkers, Wild Cherry Pepsi and Wotsits. Trademarks remain valid so long as they are used properly for identification purposes, and we emphasize correct use of our trademarks. We have authorized, through licensing arrangements, the use of many of our trademarks in such contexts as snack food joint ventures and beverage bottling appointments. In addition, we license the use of our trademarks on promotional items for the primary purpose of enhancing brand awareness.

 

We either own or have licenses to use a number of patents which relate to some of our products, the processes for their production and the design and operation of various equipment used in our businesses. Some of these patents are licensed to others.

 

Seasonality

 

Our beverage and food divisions are subject to seasonal variations. Our beverage sales are higher during the warmer months and certain food sales are higher in the cooler months. However, taken as a whole, seasonality does not have a material impact on our business.

 

Our Customers

 

Our customers include retailers, distributors and franchise bottlers. No single customer represents more than 10% of our net sales. However, when considering both our volumes, and that of our bottlers, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. is a significant customer. Additional information regarding our customers is provided under the heading “ Our Customers” and “ Cautionary Statements” contained in “ Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis.”

Our Competition

 

Our businesses operate in highly competitive markets. We compete against global companies and regional and private label manufacturers on the basis of price, quality, product variety and effective distribution. Success in this competitive environment is primarily achieved through effective promotion of existing products and the introduction of new products. We believe that the strength of our brands, innovation and marketing, coupled with our quality products and flexible distribution network, allow us to effectively compete. The following charts highlight our estimated competitive position for our major product categories.

Regulatory Environment

 

The conduct of our businesses, and the production, distribution and use of many of our products, are subject to various federal laws, such as the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and the Occupational Safety and Health Act. Our businesses in the United States are also subject to state and local laws.

 

We are also subject to the laws of the countries in which we conduct our businesses. We rely on local in-house and outside counsel to ensure compliance with foreign laws and regulations. The cost of compliance with foreign laws does not have a material financial impact on our international operations.

 

Employees

 

As of December 28, 2002, we employed, subject to seasonal variations, approximately 142,000 people worldwide, including approximately 61,000 people employed within the United States. We believe that relations with our employees are generally good.

PCNA manufactures, markets and sells ready-to-drink tea and coffee products through joint ventures with Lipton and Starbucks. PCNA sells concentrate and finished goods for these brands to bottlers licensed by us. PCNA also licenses the Aquafina water brand to its bottlers. The franchise bottlers sell our brands as finished goods to independent distributors and retailers. PCNA reports two measures of volume performance. Concentrate shipments and equivalents (CSE) reflects PCNA’s sales to its bottlers, as well as bottler Aquafina volume, and is reported on a fiscal year basis consistent with net sales. Bottler case sales (BCS) reflects the sales of beverages bearing our trademarks that franchise bottlers have sold to independent distributors and retailers and is reported on a monthly basis. CSE and BCS growth may vary due to differences in the reporting calendar and short-term changes in bottler inventory.

 

Gatorade/Tropicana North America (GTNA) manufactures, markets and sells Gatorade sports drinks, Tropicana Pure Premium, Dole, Tropicana Season’s Best and Tropicana Twister juices and juice drinks and Propel fitness water. These branded products are sold to independent distributors and retailers.

 

PepsiCo Beverages International (PBI) manufactures, markets and sells beverage concentrates, fountain syrups and finished goods under the brands Pepsi, 7UP, Mirinda, Mountain Dew, Gatorade and Tropicana outside North America. Generally, PBI’s brands are sold to franchise bottlers. However, in certain markets, PBI operates bottling plants and distribution facilities. PBI also licenses the Aquafina water brand to certain of its franchise bottlers. PBI reports two measures of volume. Concentrate shipments reflects PBI’s sale of concentrate to franchise bottlers only and is reported on a monthly basis consistent with net sales. BCS reflects company-owned and franchise bottler sales of beverages bearing our trademarks and is also reported on a monthly basis. Concentrate shipments and the related BCS may differ due to short-term changes in bottler inventory.

 

Foods

 

Quaker Foods North America (QFNA) manufactures, markets and sells cereals, rice, pasta and other branded products. QFNA’s products include Quaker oatmeal, Cap’n Crunch and Life ready-to-eat cereals, Rice-A-Roni, Pasta Roni and Near East side dishes, Aunt Jemima mixes and syrups and Quaker grits. These branded products are sold to independent distributors and retailers.

Our Customers

 

Our customers include franchise bottlers and independent distributors and retailers. We grant our bottlers exclusive contracts to manufacture and/or sell specified beverage products bearing our trademarks within a specific geographic area. These arrangements specify the amount to be paid by our bottlers for concentrate and full goods and for Aquafina royalties, as well as the manufacturing process required for product quality.

 

Since we do not sell directly to the consumer, we rely on, and provide financial incentives to our customers to assist in the distribution and promotion of our products. For our independent distributors and retailers, these incentives include volume-based rebates, promotions and displays. For our bottlers, these incentives are referred to as bottler funding and are negotiated annually with each bottler to support a variety of trade and consumer programs, such as consumer incentives, advertising support, new product support and vending and cooler equipment placement. Consumer incentives include consumer coupons, pricing discounts and consumer promotions, such as sweepstakes and other promotional offers. Advertising support is directed at advertising programs and supporting bottler media. New product funding includes targeted consumer and retailer incentives for these products and direct marketplace support, such as point-of-purchase materials, media and advertising. Vending and cooler equipment placement programs support the acquisition and placement of vending machines and cooler equipment. The nature and type of programs vary annually. The level of bottler funding is at our discretion because these incentives are not required by the terms of our bottling contracts.

 

No single customer represents more than 10% of our net sales. However, when considering both our volume and that of our bottlers, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. is a significant customer. Retail consolidation has increased the importance of major customers and further consolidation is expected. Also see “ Cautionary Statements.”

 

Our Related Party Bottlers

 

We have ownership interests in certain of our bottlers. Our ownership is generally less than fifty percent and since we do not control these bottlers, we do not consolidate their results. We include our share of their net income based on our percentage of ownership in our income statement as bottling equity income. We have designated three related party bottlers, The Pepsi Bottling Group (PBG), PepsiAmericas (PAS) and Pepsi Bottling Ventures (PBV), as our anchor bottlers. Our anchor bottlers distribute over 70% of our Pepsi-Cola North America case sales volume and approximately 14% of our PepsiCo Beverages International case sales volume. These bottlers participate in the bottler funding programs described above. Approximately 12% of our total sales incentives are paid to these bottlers. See Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information on these related parties and related party commitments and guarantees.

 

Our Distribution Network

 

Our products are brought to market through direct-store-delivery, broker-warehouse and food service and vending distribution networks. The distribution system used depends on customer needs, product characteristics, and local trade practices.

 

12


Table of Contents

 

Direct-Store-Delivery

 

We and our bottlers operate direct-store-delivery systems that deliver snacks and beverages directly to retail stores where the products are merchandised by our employees or our bottlers. Direct-store-delivery enables us to merchandise with maximum visibility and appeal. Direct-store-delivery is especially well-suited to products that have high retail turnover and respond to in-store promotion and merchandising.

 

Broker-Warehouse Systems

 

Some of our products are delivered from our warehouses to customer warehouses and retail stores. These less costly systems generally work best for products that are less fragile and perishable, have lower turnover, and are less likely to be impulse purchases.

 

Foodservice and Vending

 

Our foodservice and vending sales force distributes snacks, foods and beverages to third-party foodservice and vending distributors and operators, and through our bottlers. This distribution system supplies our products to schools, businesses, stadiums, restaurants and similar locations.

 

Our Competition

 

Our businesses operate in highly competitive markets. We compete against global companies and regional and private label manufacturers on the basis of price, quality, product variety and effective distribution. Success in this competitive environment is primarily achieved through effective promotion of existing products and the introduction of new products. We believe that the strength of our brands, innovation and marketing, coupled with our quality products and flexible distribution network, allow us to effectively compete.

 

Other Relationships

 

Certain members of our Board of Directors also serve on the boards of certain vendors and customers. Those Board members do not participate in our vendor selection and negotiations nor in our customer negotiations. Our transactions with these vendors and customers are in the normal course of business and are consistent with terms negotiated with other vendors and customers. In addition, certain of our employees serve on the boards of our anchor bottlers and other affiliated companies and do not receive incremental compensation for their board services.

 

Our Market Risks

 

We are exposed to the risks arising from adverse changes in:

    commodity prices, affecting the cost of our raw materials and fuel;
    foreign exchange rates;
    interest rates on our short-term investment and debt portfolios; and
    stock prices.

 

13


Table of Contents

 

In the normal course of business, we manage these risks through a variety of strategies, including the use of derivatives designated as cash flow and fair value hedges. See Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion of these hedges and our hedging policies. The fair value of our hedges fluctuates based on market rates and prices. The sensitivity of our hedges to these market fluctuations is discussed below. See “ Our Critical Accounting Policies” for a discussion of the exposure of our pension plan assets and liabilities to risks related to interest rates and stock prices.

 

Inflationary, deflationary and recessionary conditions impacting these market risks also impact the demand for and pricing of our products. See “ Cautionary Statements” for further discussion.

 

Commodity Prices

 

Our commodity derivatives totaled $70 million at December 28, 2002 and $252 million at December 29, 2001. These derivatives resulted in a net unrealized gain of $6 million at December 28, 2002 and a net unrealized loss of $16 million at December 29, 2001. We estimate that a 10% decline in commodity prices would have resulted in an unrealized loss of $2 million in 2002 and increased the unrealized loss by $18 million in 2001.

 

Foreign Exchange

 

Our operations outside of the United States generate 34% of our net sales of which Mexico, the United Kingdom and Canada contribute 19%. As a result, we are exposed to foreign currency risks from unforeseen economic changes and political unrest. During 2002, the impact of declines in the Mexican peso were substantially offset by increases in the British pound and the euro. However, if future declines in the Mexican peso are not offset by increases in the British pound and the euro, our future results would be adversely impacted.

 

We may enter into derivatives to manage our exposure to foreign currency transaction risk. Our foreign currency derivatives had a total face value of $329 million at December 28, 2002 and $355 million at December 29, 2001. These contracts had a net unrealized loss of less than $1 million at December 28, 2002 and a net unrealized gain of $4 million at December 29, 2001. We estimate that an unfavorable 10% change in the exchange rates would have increased the unrealized loss by $34 million in 2002 and would have resulted in an unrealized loss of $31 million in 2001.

 

Interest Rates

 

Late in 2002, we terminated the majority of our interest rate swaps used to manage our interest rate risk. As a result, 12% of our debt is exposed to variable interest rates compared to approximately 45% in 2001. Assuming year-end variable rate debt and investment levels, a 1 percentage point increase in interest rates would have reduced net interest expense by $11 million in 2002 and increased net interest expense by $3 million in 2001. The impact of the 1 percentage point increase in rates at year-end 2002 reflects higher investment balances and lower variable debt balances. This sensitivity analysis includes the impact of existing interest rate swaps during these years.

Table of Contents

 

Stock Prices

 

We manage the market risk related to our deferred compensation liability, which is indexed to certain market indices and our stock price, with mutual fund investments and prepaid forward contracts for the purchase of our stock. The combined losses on these investments are offset by changes in our deferred compensation liability which is included in Corporate selling, general and administrative expenses.

 

Cautionary Statements

 

We discuss expectations regarding our future performance, such as our business outlook, in our annual and quarterly reports, press releases, and other written and oral statements. These “forward-looking statements” are based on currently available competitive, financial and economic data and our operating plans. They are inherently uncertain, and investors must recognize that events could turn out to be significantly different from our expectations.

 

You should consider the following key factors when evaluating our trends and future results:

    continued demand for our products, which is dependent on successful product introductions and other innovations, effectiveness of our sales incentives, advertising campaigns and marketing programs, seasonal weather conditions, relationships with key customers (including our bottlers), and our response to consumer health concerns and changes in product category consumption;
    competitive product and pricing pressures;
    continued success from our productivity initiatives, which is dependent upon our ability to implement and leverage these programs;
    continued success of acquisition integrations, including our ability to achieve cost savings and revenue enhancement opportunities from the Quaker merger;
    unforeseen economic changes and political unrest, which may result in business interruption, foreign currency devaluation, inflation, deflation and decreased demand, particularly in areas outside North America, such as in Latin America and the Middle East;
    maintenance of our profit margin in the face of a consolidating retail environment;
    changes in laws and regulations, including changes in food and drug laws, accounting standards, taxation requirements (including tax rate changes, new tax laws and revised tax law interpretations) and environmental laws; and
    fluctuations in manufacturing costs and the availability of raw materials.

 

The discussion of these risks and uncertainties is by no means all inclusive but is designed to highlight what we believe are important factors to consider.

 

OUR CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

An understanding of our accounting policies is necessary to completely analyze our financial results. Our critical accounting policies require management to make difficult and subjective judgments regarding uncertainties. As a result, estimates are included in and may significantly impact our financial results. The precision of these estimates and the likelihood of future changes depend on a number of underlying variables and a range of possible outcomes. We applied our estimation methods consistently in all periods presented.

 

15


Table of Contents

 

Our critical accounting policies arise in conjunction with the following:

    revenue recognition,
    brands and goodwill,
    income taxes, and
    pension and retiree medical plans.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Our products are sold for cash or on credit terms. Our credit terms, which are established in accordance with local and industry practices, typically require payment within 30 days of delivery and may allow discounts for early payment. We recognize revenue upon delivery to our customers in accordance with written sales terms that do not allow for a right of return. However, our policy for direct-store-delivery and chilled products is to remove and replace out-of-date products from store shelves to ensure that consumers receive the product quality and freshness that they expect. Based on our historical experience with this practice, we have reserved for anticipated out-of-date product. Our bottlers have a similar replacement policy and are responsible for our products that they distribute.

 

We offer sales incentives through various programs to customers, consumers and, for PCNA, directly to certain retailers. Sales incentives are accounted for as a reduction of sales and totaled $5.5 billion in 2002, $4.7 billion in 2001 and $4.3 billion in 2000. A number of these programs, such as bottler funding and customer volume rebates, are based on annual targets, and accruals are established during the year for the expected payout. The accruals are based on our previous experience with similar programs. The terms of most of our incentive arrangements do not exceed a year. However, we have arrangements, such as fountain pouring rights, which extend up to 12 years. Costs incurred to obtain these rights are recognized over the life of the contract as a reduction of sales, and the outstanding balance is included in other assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

 

We estimate and reserve for our bad debt exposure from credit sales based on our experience. Our method of determining the reserves has not changed during the years presented in the consolidated financial statements. Bad debt expense is classified within selling, general and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Income Statement.

 

Brands and Goodwill

 

We sell products under a number of brand names around the world, many of which were developed by us. The brand development costs are expensed as incurred. We also purchase brands and goodwill in acquisitions. Upon acquisition, the purchase price is first allocated to identifiable assets and liabilities, including brands, based on estimated fair value, with any remaining purchase price recorded as goodwill. Goodwill and perpetual brands are not amortized.

 

We believe that a brand has an indefinite life if it has significant market share in a stable macroeconomic environment, and a history of strong revenue and cash flow performance that we expect to continue for the foreseeable future. If these perpetual brand criteria are not met, brands are amortized over their expected useful lives, which generally range from five to twenty years. Determining the expected life of a brand requires considerable management judgment and is based on an evaluation of a number of factors, including the competitive environment, market share, brand history and the macroeconomic environment of the country in which the brand is sold.

 

16


Table of Contents

 

Perpetual brands and goodwill are assessed for impairment at least annually to ensure that future cash flows continue to exceed the related book value. A perpetual brand is impaired if its book value exceeds its fair value. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment if the book value of its reporting unit exceeds its fair value. A reporting unit can be a division or business. If the fair value of an evaluated asset is less than its book value, the asset is written down based on its discounted future cash flows to fair value.

 

Amortizable brands are only evaluated for impairment upon a significant change in the operating or macroeconomic environment. If an evaluation of the undiscounted cash flows indicates impairment, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value, which is generally based on discounted future cash flows.

 

Considerable management judgment is necessary to evaluate the impact of operating and macroeconomic changes and to estimate future cash flows. Assumptions used in our impairment evaluations, such as forecasted growth rates and our cost of capital, are consistent with our internal projections and operating plans.

 

We did not recognize any impairment charges for perpetual brands or goodwill during 2002. As of December 28, 2002, we had over $4 billion of perpetual brands and goodwill, of which 75% related to Tropicana and Walkers. In our most recent impairment evaluations for Tropicana and Walkers, no impairment charges would have resulted even if operating profit growth were assumed to be 5% lower.

 

Income Taxes

 

Our reported effective tax rate was 31.9% for 2002. Excluding the impact of nondeductible merger-related costs, our effective tax rate was 31.2%. For 2003, our effective tax rate, excluding the impact of nondeductible merger-related costs, is expected to be 30.5%. The decrease from 2002 primarily reflects the impact of our new concentrate plant.

 

Our effective tax rate is based on expected income, statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities available to us in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. Significant judgment is required in determining our effective tax rate and in evaluating our tax positions. We establish reserves when, despite our belief that our tax return positions are fully supportable, we believe that certain positions are likely to be challenged and that we may not succeed. We adjust these reserves in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the progress of a tax audit. Our effective tax rate includes the impact of reserve provisions and changes to reserves that we consider appropriate, as well as related interest. This rate is then applied to our quarterly operating results. In the event that there is a significant unusual or one-time item recognized in our operating results, the tax attributable to that item would be separately calculated and recorded at the same time as the unusual or one-time item. We consider the Quaker merger-related costs to be a significant one-time item.

 

17


Table of Contents

 

Tax regulations require items to be included in the tax return at different times than the items are reflected in the financial statements. As a result, our effective tax rate reflected in our financial statements is different than that reported in our tax return. Some of these differences are permanent, such as expenses which are not deductible on our tax return, and some are timing differences, such as depreciation expense. Timing differences create deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets generally represent items that can be used as a tax deduction or credit in our tax return in future years for which we have already recorded the tax benefit in our income statement. We establish valuation allowances for our deferred tax assets when the amount of expected future taxable income is not likely to support the use of the deduction or credit. Deferred tax liabilities generally represent tax expense recognized in our financial statements for which payment has been deferred or expense for which we have already taken a deduction on our tax return, but have not yet recognized as expense in our financial statements. We have not recognized any United States tax expense on undistributed international earnings since we intend to reinvest the earnings outside the United States for the foreseeable future. These undistributed earnings are approximately $7.5 billion at December 28, 2002.

 

A number of years may elapse before a particular matter, for which we have established a reserve, is audited and finally resolved. The number of years with open tax audits varies depending on the tax jurisdiction. In the United States, the audits for 1991 through 1993 remain open for certain items and the Internal Revenue Service is currently examining our tax returns for 1994 through 1997. While it is often difficult to predict the final outcome or the timing of resolution of any particular tax matter, we believe that our reserves reflect the probable outcome of known tax contingencies. Unfavorable settlement of any particular issue would require use of our cash. Favorable resolution would be recognized as a reduction to our effective tax rate in the year of resolution. Our tax reserves are presented in the balance sheet within other liabilities, except for amounts relating to items we expect to settle in the coming year which are classified as current.

 

Pension and Retiree Medical Plans

 

Our pension plans cover full-time U.S. employees and certain international employees. Benefits are determined based on either years of service or a combination of years of service and earnings. U.S. employees are also eligible for medical and life insurance benefits (retiree medical) if they meet age and service requirements and qualify for retirement benefits. Generally, our retiree medical costs are capped at a specified dollar amount, with retirees contributing the remainder.

 

The expected benefit to be paid is expensed over the employees’ expected service. Management must make many assumptions to determine the expected benefit and expected service, including:

    the interest rate used to determine the present value of liabilities (discount rate),
    the expected return on plan assets for plans funded by us,
    the rate of salary increases for plans where benefits are based on earnings,
    health care cost trend rates for retiree medical plans, and
    certain employee-related factors, such as turnover, retirement age and mortality.

 

We make contributions to trusts maintained to provide plan benefits for certain pension plans. These contributions are made in accordance with applicable tax regulations that provide for current tax deductions for our contributions and taxation to the employee only upon receipt of plan benefits. We do not generally fund pension plans and retiree medical plans when our contributions would not be tax deductible or when the employee would be taxed prior to receipt of benefit. Pension plan investment guidelines are established based upon an evaluation of market conditions, risk tolerance and plan investment horizon.

 

18


Table of Contents

 

The assets, liabilities and assumptions used to measure pension and retiree medical expense are determined as of September 30 of the preceding year (measurement date). Since the liabilities are measured on a discounted basis, the discount rate is a significant assumption. It is based on interest rates for high-quality, long-term corporate debt at each measurement date. The expected return on pension plan assets is based on our historical experience and our expectations for long-term rates of return. To measure pension expense, we use a calculated value for plan assets which recognizes changes in fair value over five years rather than the current fair value at each measurement date. The other assumptions also reflect our historical experience and management’s best judgment regarding future expectations.

 

Gains and losses resulting from actual experience differing from our assumptions are determined at each measurement date. If the net total gain or loss exceeds 10% of the greater of plan assets or liabilities, a portion of the net gain or loss is included in expense for the next year. The cost or benefit of plan changes, such as increasing or decreasing benefits for prior employee service, is included in expense over the expected service of the employees.

We review our assumptions at least at the annual measurement date. During 2002, we completed a review of our pension investment and funding strategy for our U.S. pension plans. As a result, we revised our U.S. investment allocation to a maximum of 65% equities with the balance in fixed income securities. As a result of the mid-year 2002 investment funding and strategy changes, we remeasured pension expense for our U.S. plans to incorporate a reduction in the rate of return on plan assets to 8.2%, as well as changes to employee-related assumptions based on current data. This mid-year valuation resulted in a weighted average expected return on plan assets for 2002 of 9.1% and increased the balance of year pension expense by $29 million. This increase is reported in Corporate selling, general and administrative expenses.

 

Health care cost trend rates have an impact on the retiree medical plan expense. A 1 percentage point increase in the assumed health care trend rate would increase the service and interest costs by $4 million for 2003 and a 1 percentage point decrease would reduce these costs by $4 million.

 

Pension expense for 2003 is estimated to be approximately $160 million and retiree medical expense is estimated to be approximately $120 million compared to 2002 pension expense of $111 million and retiree medical expense of $88 million. These estimates incorporate the 2003 assumptions, as well as the impact of the increased pension plan assets resulting from our contributions to funded plans.

Merger-Related Costs

 

We incurred costs associated with our merger with Quaker. We expect to incur additional costs of approximately $50 million in 2003 to complete the integration of the two companies. For additional information, see Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements.

 

SFAS 142 Adoption

 

In 2002, we adopted SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which eliminated amortization of goodwill and perpetual brands (our nonamortizable intangibles), and resulted in the acceleration of the amortization of certain of our other intangibles. The prior year adjustments in the above table reflect the impact that would have resulted if adoption had occurred at the beginning of 2000. For additional information, see “ Our Critical Accounting Policies” and Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements.

SVE Consolidation

 

As a result of changes in the operations of Snack Ventures Europe (SVE), we determined that consolidation was required, and we consolidated SVE in 2002. The prior year adjustments in the above table reflect the impact that would have resulted if consolidation had occurred at the beginning of 2000. For further information on our consolidation of SVE, see Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements.

 

Other Impairment and Restructuring Charges

 

We incurred costs for Quaker’s supply chain reconfiguration and manufacturing and distribution optimization project.

 

53rd Week in 2000

 

Our fiscal year ends on the last Saturday in December, and as a result, a 53rd week is added every five or six years. Comparisons of 2002 and 2001 to 2000 are affected by an additional week of results in 2000.

 

Other

 

This adjustment primarily reflects the reclassification of our prepaid forward contracts. Beginning in 2001, in connection with the adoption of the accounting standard on derivative instruments, gains or losses on prepaid forward contracts, which are used to hedge a portion of our deferred compensation liability, were reclassified to Corporate selling, general and administrative expenses. These amounts were previously reported in interest income. For more information on these prepaid forward contracts, see “ Our Market Risks.”

 

Pending Accounting Changes

 

Current pending accounting standards are not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements. For a description of these new accounting standards see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Consolidated Review

 

In the discussions of net sales and operating profit below, effective net pricing reflects the year-over-year impact of discrete pricing actions, sales incentive activities and mix resulting from selling varying products in different package sizes and in different countries.

 

Servings

 

Since our divisions each use different measures of physical unit volume (e.g., kilos, pounds, case sales, gallons, etc.), a common servings metric is necessary to reflect our consolidated physical unit volume. Our divisions’ physical volume measures are converted into servings based on U.S. Food and Drug Administration guidelines for single-serving sizes of our products.

 

Total servings increased 4% in 2002 compared to 2001 due to volume gains across all divisions led by beverages. Total servings increased 4% in 2001 compared to 2000 primarily due to contributions from our international divisions and Pepsi-Cola North America.

2002

 

Net sales increased 7% and operating profit increased 18% driven by volume gains across all divisions, the consolidation of SVE, higher concentrate pricing and favorable mix. These gains were partially offset by increased promotional spending at Gatorade/Tropicana North America and Frito-Lay North America and net unfavorable foreign currency movement. The consolidation of SVE increased net sales growth by 3 percentage points and operating profit by 1 percentage point. In addition, operating profit growth improved 5 percentage points from the impact of lower merger-related costs, the absence of other impairment and restructuring costs and the adoption of SFAS 142.

 

The impact of net unfavorable foreign currency movements reduced net sales growth by 1 percentage point. Operating profit growth was not materially affected by foreign currency movements.

 

Our operating profit margin increased 1.7 percentage points primarily due to lower costs reflecting merger synergies of approximately $250 million, lower merger costs and productivity. We expect our operating margins to continue to improve as a result of Quaker merger-related synergies that are expected to reach $400 million a year by 2004 and by our ongoing productivity initiatives.

2001

 

Net sales and operating profit increased 5% primarily reflecting increased volume and higher effective net pricing of snacks and beverages, as well as the acquisition of South Beach Beverage Company, LLC (SoBe), which contributed nearly 1 percentage point to net sales growth. These gains were partially offset by the inclusion of the 53rd week in 2000, which reduced net sales growth by more than 1 percentage point and operating profit growth by 1.5 percentage points, and a net unfavorable foreign currency impact. In addition, operating profit was reduced by merger-related costs and higher general and administrative expenses, partially offset by lower costs for the Quaker supply chain project. Merger-related costs and lower supply chain costs reduced operating profit growth by approximately 5 percentage points.

 

The unfavorable foreign currency impact, primarily in Brazil and Europe, reduced net sales growth by more than 1 percentage point. Operating profit growth was reduced nearly 1 percentage point as a result of unfavorable foreign currency.

Bottling equity income includes our share of the net income or loss of our noncontrolled bottling affiliates as described in “ Our Customers.” Our interest in these bottling investments may change from time to time. Any gains or losses from these changes, as well as other transactions related to our bottling investments, are also included on a pre-tax basis.

 

2002

 

Bottling equity income increased 75%. This increase primarily reflects the adoption of SFAS 142. The impact of impairment charges of $35 million related to a Latin American bottling investment was more than offset by the settlement of issues upon the sale of our investment in Pepsi-Gemex, our Mexican bottling affiliate, and the absence of one-time items discussed in 2001 below. Excluding these items, bottling equity income increased approximately 13% reflecting improved performance of our international bottling investments, and the contribution of our North American anchor bottlers.

 

2001

 

Bottling equity income increased 23%, primarily reflecting the strong performance of PBG. Results for 2001 also include a gain of $59 million from the sale of approximately 2 million shares of PBG stock, and a net credit of $23 million related to the resolution of issues for which a prior year accrual was established in connection with the creation of our anchor bottler system. Bottling equity income in 2001 also benefited from $5 million of losses from the 53rd week in 2000. These increases were offset by impairment charges of $62 million related to certain international bottling investments, primarily our equity investment in Turkey and a charge of $27 million for our share of a charge recorded by PepsiAmericas for environmental liabilities related to discontinued operations.

Net interest expense declined 6% primarily due to lower average debt levels, partially offset by increased losses of $10 million on investments used to hedge a portion of our deferred compensation liability. Decreases in borrowing rates were offset by decreases in investment rates.

 

2001

 

Net interest expense declined 19%. Interest expense declined primarily as a result of significantly lower average debt levels. Interest income declined as 2000 includes $19 million in gains from prepaid forward contracts. Excluding the prepaid forward contracts, interest income increased slightly as the impact of higher average investment balances was largely offset by lower average interest rates and losses on the investments hedging a portion of our deferred compensation liability.

Excluding the impact of nondeductible merger-related costs in 2002, our effective tax rate would have been 31.2%.

 

2001

 

The effective tax rate increased 1.5 percentage points primarily due to limited tax benefits associated with merger-related costs, partially offset by lower taxes on foreign results.

Net income increased 24% and the related net income per common share increased 26%. These increases primarily reflect the solid operating profit growth, lower merger-related costs and the adoption of SFAS 142. Net income per common share also reflects the benefit of a reduction in average shares outstanding primarily as a result of increased share buyback activity. Merger-related costs reduced net income per common share by $0.11 in 2002.

 

2001

 

Net income increased 5% and the related net income per common share increased 4%. These increases primarily reflect increased operating profit, reduced other impairment and restructuring costs, lower net interest expense, and a lower effective tax rate, partially offset by merger-related costs.

 

Division Review

 

The results and discussions below are based on how our Chief Executive Officer monitors the performance of our divisions. Prior year amounts reflect the adoption of SFAS 142 and consolidation of SVE and exclude the results of divested businesses. In addition, when our fiscal year contains a 53rd week, as occurred in 2000, our divisions are managed on a fifty-two week basis and, accordingly, the 53rd week is excluded from the results below. For additional information on these items and our divisions, see Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements.

Pound volume grew 4% primarily due to new products, strong growth in branded snack mix, single-digit growth in Cheetos cheese flavored snacks, Doritos tortilla chips, branded dips and Quaker Chewy Granola bars, and double-digit growth in Rold Gold pretzels. Go Snacks significantly contributed to the new product growth and Munchies drove the branded snack mix growth. These gains were partially offset by a single-digit decline in Ruffles potato chips.

 

Growth in net sales of 4% and operating profit of 8% reflects the increased volume. Approximately half of the net sales growth came from new products. Increased promotional spending more than offset favorable mix and other pricing. Lower costs, particularly performance-based compensation and commodity prices for vegetable oils and natural gas, contributed 4 percentage points of the operating profit growth.

Pound volume advanced 3%. This growth was led by single-digit growth in Lay’s potato chips, Cheetos cheese flavored snacks, Doritos tortilla chips, Fritos corn chips and the introduction of our new Lay’s Bistro Gourmet potato chips. These gains were partially offset by a double-digit decline in Ruffles potato chips.

 

Growth in net sales of 6% and operating profit of 10% primarily reflects higher effective net pricing and the increased volume. Lay’s Bistro Gourmet potato chips contributed nearly 1 percentage point to the sales growth. Advertising and marketing expenses grew at a faster rate than sales, also negatively impacting operating profit growth.

Volume grew 6% primarily reflecting 3% growth in salty snacks, 8% growth in sweet snacks and 6% growth in foods. Single-digit growth at Walkers and Sabritas contributed over 70% of the salty volume growth. Strong single-digit growth at Gamesa contributed nearly 80% of the sweet growth and the introduction of Chipita croissants in Russia contributed the remainder. Brazil drove the foods volume.

 

Unfavorable foreign currencies in Mexico, Argentina and Brazil reduced net sales growth by 4 percentage points. This impact was partially offset by the favorable 1 percentage point impact of the British pound and the euro. Foreign currency was not a factor in operating profit growth as the unfavorable Mexican peso offset the favorable impact of the British pound and, as a result of operating losses, the Argentinean peso.

 

Growth in net sales of 4% and operating profit of 20% primarily reflects solid results at Walkers, Gamesa and Sabritas. The impact of higher net effective pricing in Brazil and Argentina contributed 1 percentage point to net sales growth. These gains were partially offset by the impact of unfavorable foreign currencies. Walkers and Gamesa together contributed over 60% of the net sales growth and nearly half of the operating profit growth. Favorable advertising and marketing costs at Sabritas also contributed to operating profit growth.

 

2001

 

Volume increased 6%, reflecting growth in the salty and sweet categories. The salty volume grew 9% led by double-digit growth at SVE, in Brazil and in Poland, single-digit growth at Walkers and 2 percentage points of growth from acquisitions. Sweet volume grew 5% driven by growth at Gamesa.

Growth in net sales of 6% and operating profit of 13% primarily reflects solid results from Walkers, Gamesa and Poland, effective net pricing at Sabritas and Gamesa, and the impact of acquisitions. Macroeconomic conditions in Argentina negatively impacted operating profit growth. Unfavorable foreign currency movements in Brazil and the United Kingdom decreased net sales by 4 percentage points and operating profit growth by 2 percentage points.

Concentrate shipments and equivalents increased 2% driven by strong double-digit growth in Aquafina, the introductions of Lipton Brisk Lemonade and Pepsi Blue, and continued growth of Pepsi Twist, Code Red and Sierra Mist. Trademark Mountain Dew was flat compared to prior year reflecting the double-digit growth of Code Red offset by declines in base Mountain Dew. Trademark Pepsi was down slightly compared to prior year as gains from Pepsi Twist and Pepsi Blue were more than offset by declines in base Pepsi. BCS increased 2% over the prior year.

 

Net sales increased 6% and operating profit increased 12%. These increases reflect higher concentrate pricing contributing 3 percentage points to net sales growth and substantially all of the operating profit growth. These increases also reflect volume from the new product introductions, increased Aquafina royalties and higher national fountain pricing, partially offset by lower concentrate volume, costs associated with litigation, increased inventory costs and increased advertising and marketing expenses related to our new products. New products contributed approximately 2 percentage points to the net sales growth. Advertising and marketing costs, costs of sales and general and administrative expenses grew at a slower rate than sales.

 

As in 2002, we expect concentrate pricing to favorably impact our results due to the 2% price increase effective in the first quarter of 2003. In addition, our carbonated soft drink volume will be favorably impacted by the expanded distribution of Sierra Mist by many of our U.S. bottlers as these bottlers distribute Sierra Mist as their exclusive lemon-lime brand.

 

2001

 

Concentrate shipments and equivalents increased 4%. This increase was primarily driven by high single-digit growth in Mountain Dew reflecting the introduction of Code Red, strong growth in Sierra Mist and Aquafina, the acquisition of SoBe and the launch of Dole. These gains were partially offset by a low single-digit decline in trademark Pepsi, which was mitigated by the successful launch of Pepsi Twist, and a double-digit decline in Slice as a result of the introduction of Sierra Mist. Bottler case sales volume increased 4%. The carbonated soft drink portfolio and the acquisition of SoBe each contributed 1 percentage point to both concentrate shipments and equivalents and bottler case sales growth.

 

28


Table of Contents

 

Growth in net sales of 20% and operating profit of 7% primarily reflects the increased volume and higher effective net pricing. The acquisition of SoBe and our new products Dole, Mountain Dew Code Red, Sierra Mist and Pepsi Twist, accounted for the majority of the revenue growth. SoBe and Dole are sold as finished product to our bottlers. Accordingly, net sales growth was accelerated due to their significantly higher price per unit for these products. The SoBe acquisition contributed 7 percentage points to net sales growth. These gains were partially offset by increased customer support.

 

Operating profit growth was slowed by the increased advertising and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses grew at a significantly faster rate than sales. The SoBe acquisition reduced operating profit growth by 4 percentage points primarily due to brand amortization.

Overall volume grew 8% reflecting strong 17% growth in Gatorade products and a 1% decline in Tropicana products. The Gatorade volume growth resulted from new product introductions and the national launch of Propel. Excluding the loss of the single serve Pure Premium business at Burger King, Tropicana volume growth was nearly 1% as gains in Tropicana chilled products, driven by Pure Premium nutritionals and Dole blends, were offset by declines in Tropicana ambient products led by Twister.

 

Net sales increased 4% and operating profit increased 1% primarily due to the volume gains and favorable product mix. The volume gains contributed over 7 percentage points to the net sales growth which were greatly offset by increased promotional spending. The increased promotional spending reflects the competitive marketplace and chilled juice and juice drink category softness. Operating profit benefited from lower costs driven by merger-related synergies.

 

2001

 

Overall volume grew 4%. This growth was led by three new Gatorade flavors and double-digit growth in Tropicana Pure Premium nutritionals, offset by low double-digit declines in Tropicana Season’s Best.

 

Net sales increased 5% and operating profit increased 6% due to the volume gains and higher effective net pricing for Gatorade. Operating profit also benefited from lower general and administrative expenses, partially offset by higher advertising and marketing expenses and higher Tropicana manufacturing costs as a result of lower fruit yields, higher energy costs and lower production leverage.

BCS increased 5% reflecting broad-based increases led by strong double-digit growth in China, India, Turkey and Russia. These advances were partially offset by declines in Argentina due to poor macroeconomic conditions. For the year, total concentrate shipments to franchisees grew 6%, while their BCS grew at a slower rate.

 

Unfavorable foreign currency movements reduced net sales growth by 2 percentage points and operating profit by 7 percentage points as currency weaknesses in Latin America and Egypt were partially offset by stronger currencies in Europe.

 

Net sales increased 1% and operating profit increased 23% due to the volume gains partially offset by the unfavorable effect of foreign currency movements. We franchised our Gatorade business in certain countries and, as a result, we now sell concentrate as opposed to full goods to bottlers in these countries. The impact of the franchising reduced net sales growth by 2 percentage points. The Gatorade franchising increased operating profit growth by 13 percentage points as a result of prior year operating losses. This growth was partially offset by increases in general and administrative and advertising and marketing expenses.

 

2001

 

BCS increased 4.5% due to broad-based increases led by Russia, China and Brazil. These increases were partially offset by pricing-related declines in Mexico and Saudi Arabia coupled with a macroeconomic decline in Turkey. For the year, total concentrate shipments to franchisees grew 3%, while their BCS grew at about the same rate.

 

Net sales increased 2% and operating profit increased 32% primarily due to the volume gains and higher effective net pricing, partially offset by a net unfavorable foreign currency impact. The net unfavorable foreign currency impact reduced net sales growth by 4.5 percentage points, primarily in Europe, Brazil and Egypt, and reduced operating profit growth by 11 percentage points, primarily in Europe. Overall margin improvements contributed to operating profit growth.

Pound volume increased 2%. Hot cereals and ready-to-eat cereals each contributed 1 percentage point of volume growth driven by new product introductions and product news.

 

Growth in net sales of 2% and operating profit of 21% was due to increased cereal volume. In addition, the benefit of productivity, merger-related synergies and lower advertising and marketing expense, partially offset by higher oat prices, contributed more than 15 percentage points of the operating profit growth.

 

2001

 

Pound volume decreased 1% driven by declines in ready-to-eat cereals and bulk cornmeal and oats products, largely offset by growth in hot cereals. The hot cereals growth resulted primarily from new products and flavor varieties.

 

Growth in net sales of 1% and operating profit of 8% was primarily due to higher effective net pricing, reflecting a mix shift to higher priced products, and the price increases for cereals which more than offset lower overall volume.

OUR LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Our strong cash-generating capability and financial condition give us ready access to capital markets throughout the world. Our principal source of liquidity is operating cash flows, which are derived from net income. This cash-generating capability is one of our fundamental strengths and provides us with substantial financial flexibility in meeting operating, investing and financing needs. We focus on management operating cash flow as a key element in achieving maximum shareholder value.

 

LOGO

 

Operating Activities

 

In 2002, net cash provided by operating activities of $4.6 billion primarily reflects our solid business results and our emphasis on working capital efficiencies. Net cash provided by operating activities includes pension plan contributions of $820 million and a net tax refund of approximately $250 million in 2002. We expect pension plan contributions to be at a significantly lower level in 2003.

 

In 2001, net cash provided by operating activities of $3.8 billion primarily reflects our solid business results less cash paid for merger-related costs and other restructuring charges.

 

Investing Activities

 

In 2002, net cash used in investing activities of $0.5 billion primarily reflects capital spending and acquisitions, primarily the Wotsits brand in the United Kingdom, partially offset by maturities of short-term investments of $0.8 billion, and proceeds from the Pepsi-Gemex transaction.

 

In 2001, net cash used in investing activities of $2.3 billion primarily reflects capital spending, the acquisition of SoBe and purchases of short-term investments of $0.5 billion.

 

Capital spending was $1.4 billion in 2002, $1.3 billion in 2001 and $1.4 billion in 2000. We expect capital spending to continue at a rate of approximately 5.5% to 6% of net sales.

 

Financing Activities

 

In 2002, cash used for financing activities of $3.2 billion primarily reflects share repurchases of $2.2 billion and dividend payments of $1 billion. Our policy is to pay dividends equal to approximately one-third of our previous year’s net income.

 

In 2001, cash used for financing activities of $1.9 billion primarily reflects share repurchases of $1.7 billion and dividend payments of $1.0 billion. These payments were partially offset by the net proceeds of $524 million from the issuance of 13.2 million shares of our repurchased common stock to qualify for pooling-of-interests accounting treatment in connection with the merger with Quaker.

In 2002, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $5 billion over a three-year period. In 2003, we expect share repurchases to continue at a level consistent with the years presented. In 2001, subsequent to our merger with Quaker, we repurchased shares of our common stock, as permitted by the emergency and exemptive orders from the Securities and Exchange Commission aimed at facilitating the reopening of the United States equities market on September 17, 2001, following the events of September 11th. Our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $2 billion worth of our common stock during the terms of these orders. Repurchases under these orders did not compromise our accounting for the Quaker merger. All prior authorizations for share repurchases had been rescinded as a result of the PepsiCo and Quaker merger.

 

Management Operating Cash Flow

 

Management operating cash flow is the primary measure management uses to monitor cash flow performance. It is not a measure calculated under United States generally accepted accounting principles. We believe capital spending is a recurring and essential use of cash necessary to maintain our operating capabilities. The table below reconciles net cash provided by operating activities as reflected in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows to our management operating cash flow.

Management operating cash flow was used primarily to fund share repurchases and dividend payments. In 2000, management operating cash flow was also used to reduce long-term debt. We expect management operating cash flow for fiscal year 2003 to remain strong and at levels consistent with the years presented above. However, see “ Cautionary Statements” for certain factors that may impact our operating cash flows.

 

Credit Ratings

 

Our debt ratings of A1 from Moody’s and A from Standard & Poor’s contribute to our ability to access global capital markets. Each rating is considered a strong investment grade bond rating with strong debt protection measures. These ratings reflect the third highest rankings out of nine-tier ranking systems. They reflect our strong operating cash flows and include the impact of the cash flows and debt of our anchor bottlers. We have maintained these healthy ratings since 1989, demonstrating the stability of our operating cash flows.

Credit Facilities and Long-Term Contractual Commitments

 

See Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements for a description of our credit facilities and long-term contractual commitments.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

It is not our business practice to enter into off-balance sheet arrangements nor is it our policy to issue guarantees to our bottlers, noncontrolled affiliates or third parties. However, certain guarantees were necessary to facilitate the separation of our bottling and restaurant operations from us. As of year-end 2002, we believe it is remote that these guarantees would require any cash payment. See Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements for a description of our off-balance sheet arrangements.
